Dinner - King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima state visit France

French President Francois Hollande welcomes Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands prior the state dinner in honor of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Queen Maxima on March 10, 2016 in Paris, France. Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands are on a two-day state visit in France.

She looks really good, that gold color dress is very becoming to her, makes her glow somehow. Accessories support ensemble. Make up is good, even hair as loose is not her normal tacky too much foam/hairspray one but done well.

The earrings, bracelets and hair clip (it's really a brooch) are some of the pieces that can be detached from the Borneo Diamonds tiara. This tiara was a gift made in 1898 to Queen Wilhelmina in her investiture by one of the Borneo's Sultans. Borneo was then (as Sumatra, Java and other islands of the actual Indonesia) a Dutch colony. Queen Máxima wore the same pieces from this set at the Guillaume and Stephanie wedding. At that time she placed the brooch at her waist and topped her mustard and grey ensemble wearing a dead pheasant (or some such bird) at the top of her head.
